Just putting these aside for when we kick their ass in the opener.
Pat Williams telling Michael Silver of Yahoo Sports:
“Damn, that’s their problem,” Williams said. “They’re going through all that as a team, trying to figure out if Favre or (Aaron) Rodgers was the man, while we’ve got the same team we had all offseason. I’m glad they got all that darn press, ‘cause when we go down there it’ll be the kid’s first start and his first damn loss.”
Williams, a 12th-year veteran, didn’t limit his enmity to Rodgers. He’s also gunning for Packers halfback Ryan Grant, who last year was the only player to rush for more than 100 yards against Minnesota, with 119 in a 34-0 Green Bay blowout at Lambeau last November.
“I’m going to try to crush all of ‘em,” Williams said. “That’s been the focus of my whole summer – the Green Bay Packers."
“They had a nice year last year, but they don’t understand that Brett made those guys better than they were,” Williams said. “He has the game all figured out, and you’ve got to factor all that into the equation. Brett Favre would throw the ball when the receivers hadn’t even made their cut yet, and it would be there waiting for them. Those guys had it good.
“People think it’s the system, but it ain’t no damn system. Brett Favre just knows where his guys are going to be at all times, and I don’t think Aaron Rodgers has got that yet.””
Jared Allen All-Pro defensive end Jared Allen, acquired by the Vikings in an April trade with the Chiefs, has his own welcome-to-the-rivalry ritual in mind for Rodgers.
“Playing Green Bay on Monday night to start the season – that’s everything you want,” Allen said. “Hopefully, I can put my helmet square in the back of his spine. If I can do that and knock the ball loose, it’ll be a good day.”
Aaron reminded us of the fact that Jared Allen got smoked against us...but I'll let him tell it:
Seriously, Jared, here’s a newsflash. Do you remember last season, when you played in Kansas City? Remember how the Packers came to town? Oh, that’s right, you may have blocked it from your memory because Chad Clifton made you
look like a little girl. Big Bad Chwad Cwiffton…what, are you going to cry Jared? Awww…big ol’ mean Cwifton was too good a pwayer for you to beat…awwww. You had to switch inside and line up against Daryn Colledge, didn’t you? That’s right you
drunk driving, mullet-sporting buffoon. You led the league in sacks last year, but Chad Clifton owns you. Welcome to Lambeau, you girl.
